Model predictive control for electrodynamic tether geometric profile in orbital maneuvering with finite element state estimator

Gangqiang Li et al.

Summary: This paper studies the control of the geometric profile of a librating electrodynamic tether using model predictive control and induced electric current. State estimation is proposed to estimate the geometric profile, and the control problem is converted into trajectory tracking. Optimization of the current value effectively controls the shape of the tether in numerical simulations.
